Which areas are being regenerated in Dublin?

Question

I'm writing an essay on urban regeneration on Dublin, and one example of totally regenerating a residential area I've found is Ballymun, North Dublin.

I'm suggesting that regenerating an area like this, providing new home and services is an under used way of bringing a city 'back to life'.

Other than Ballymun (and the Docklands obviously), which housing areas are being refreshed?

Answer 1

You could also look at the regeneration of Fatima mansions in Dublin, there are a number of papers on it and also has been a couple of documentaries. Also in general in Dublin there have been numerous projects to renew areas where tenement buildings have been demolished. Sean Mcdermott Street, New Street, Bride Street , Bishop Street.

Some of these areas have been renewed without the need for extra infrastructure due to the proximity to city centre.

Also in another way Temple bar is a good example, as up to 15 yrs ago it was basically all a derilict area with no servies or life now it has apartments, hotels, galleries and the infamous bars. But as a regeneration project its a good example of what could be achieved to breath life back into a city. There are also plans for greater regeneration in Cork City Centre and also Limerick.
